IoT Peer2Peer – October 2019

October 4 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

The Silicon Halton IoT Peer2Peer is focused on helping members collaborate, share, and learn how IoT is changing industry, and how they can benefit in taking their solutions / products to market. Check out our past events.

The IoT is a series of points where data can be generated, collected, aggregated, analyzed and stored. This all begins at the device level – on the edge. Currently, many IoT applications observe data at the edge, then move it to the cloud for analysis. Edge computing helps reduce connectivity costs, improves security and privacy, and reduces latency.

Those that are able to extract the right business insights at the right time and the right place – edge or cloud – based on factors like cost and latency of the underlying business problem will succeed in the future of IoT. So how do you determine what runs at the edge versus what runs in the cloud? You have to decide based on the situation.

This session will explore what Edge computing and 5G really means to the world of IoT.
